Shine Into Our Night - Sovereign Grace Music

There is something therapeutic for me in typing out lyrics...

We are not what we should be
We haven't sought what we should seek
We've seen Your Glory, Lord...but looked away

Our hearts are bent, our eyes are dim
Our finest works are stained with sin
An emptiness has shadowed all our ways

Jesus Christ
Shine into our night
Drive our dark away...
Till Your Glory fills our eyes

Jesus Christ
Shine into our night
Bind us to your cross
Where we find light

Still we often go astray
We chase the world forget Your grace
But You have never failed to bring us back
Reveal the depths of what You've done
The death you died, the victory won
You've made a way for us to know your love

And If Our God is For Us

The catchy lyrics with the catchy tune with the catchy drum pattern goes: "And if our God is for us Then who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us Then what could stand against?" -Words and Music by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman, "Our God" It's a rhetorical question, but I'll answer anyway - it's nothing.  Not even my ceaseless selfishness.  In Matthew 16 - Peter, the rock on whom the church would be built, rebuked Jesus for prophesying His own death by the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, saying "Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!".  In response, Jesus says, "Get behind me, Satan!  You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns." Satan.   Merely human  concerns.  Ouch.  But there's hope!  As I alluded to before, in Matthew 16:18, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my churc
